I mean, maybe the Ducks are just planning on putting Gibson in the minors and running with Andersen and Khudobin, but I'd think one of them is likely available.

I'm also not sure what Gibson would cost, but I'd be very interested in at least investigating it...

I really wanted Gibson or Jones, but I think the Bruins have Jones tagged as the backup to relieve Rask, so Gibson is the only option remaining...???
After the draft, Murray was pretty adamant that he wasn't trading Gibson.

The exact quote from Bob Murray was: "John Gibson is not getting traded … put that ####ing out there"

Gibson can still play 2 more seasons in the AHL without needing waivers. If Murray is true to his word, they may want Gibson to get more action next year and plan to have him play primarily in San Diego. One nice thing for them with the new AHL alignment is that they can bring him up every so often to play a game or two in Anaheim and it's only a 2 hour(ish) drive from San Diego rather than a cross-country flight from Virginia.
